| 2 | ================================ |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Gerrit 2.1.2.4 is now available in the usual location: |

| 6 | link:http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/list[http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/list] |
| 7 | |
| 8 | New Features |
| 9 | ------------ |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Add 'checkout' download command to patch sets |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | The Download area of a patch set now offers a command line to fetch |
| 14 | and checkout the patch set on a detached HEAD. This is more suitable |
| 15 | for building and testing the change locally. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Bug Fixes |
| 18 | --------- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * issue 545 Fallback to ISO-8859-1 if charset isn't supported |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | Some input files are misrecognized by the jchardet library that is |
| 23 | used to automatically guess a character set. A guessed charset |
| 24 | might not even be supported by the local JRE. In such cases the |
| 25 | ISO-8859-1 character set is used as a fallback, so the file content |
| 26 | is still visible. |
| 27 | |
| Shawn O. Pearce | c59e5ee | 2010-05-04 16:54:02 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | * issue 553 Bugs sometimes added as change reviewers |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | Bug references were sometimes added as an 'Anonymous Coward' change |
| 31 | reviewer when the line used to mention the bug in the commit message |
| 32 | was the same length as 'Signed-off-by'. Fixed. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * Update JGit to 0.7.1.46-gdd63f5c to fix empty tree bug |
| Shawn O. Pearce | b849b72 | 2010-04-27 17:55:00 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | + |
| 36 | Repositories which contained an empty tree object (very uncommon, its |
| 37 | technically a bug to produce a repository like this) wouldn't clone |
| 38 | properly from the embedded Gerrit SSH or HTTP daemon. Fixed upstream |
| 39 | in JGit 0.7.0, but we never picked up the bug fix release. |
| 40 | |
| Shawn O. Pearce | 3803582 | 2010-05-04 13:40:07 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | * Allow LDAP to unset the user name |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | If the user name is configured to be set only by the LDAP directory, |
| 44 | and an account has a user name, but the name is no longer present |
| 45 | in the directory, Gerrit crashed during sign-in while trying to |
| 46 | clear out the user name. Fixed. |
| 47 | |
| Shawn O. Pearce | b849b72 | 2010-04-27 17:55:00 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 48 | Documentation Corrections |
| 49 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 50 | |
| 51 | * documentation: Elaborate on branch level Owner |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | Documentation didn't describe that the Owner permission within a |
| 54 | project can be used to delegate control over a branch namespace to |
| 55 | another group. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * documentation: Document Read Access +2 aka Upload Access |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | The documentation didn't describe what Read +2 means. |
